AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THESTANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whetherthe standalone financial statements as a whole are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issuean auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assuranceis a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an auditconducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a materialmisstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraudor error and are considered material if, individually or in theaggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence theeconomic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalonefinancial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professionaljudgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout theaudit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of thestandalone financial statements, whether due to fraud orerror, design and perform audit procedures responsive tothose risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient andappropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of notdetecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud ishigher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involvecollusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations,or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to theaudit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriatein the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, weare also responsible for expressing our opinion on whetherthe Company has adequate internal financial controls withreference to financial statements in place and the operatingeffectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies usedand the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relateddisclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of thegoing concern basis of accounting and, based on the auditevidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty existsrelated to events or conditions that may cast significant doubton the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If weconclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are requiredto draw attention in our auditor's report to the relateddisclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosuresare inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions arebased on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of ourauditor's report. However, future events or conditions maycause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content ofthe standalone financial statements, including the disclosures,and whether the standalone financial statements representthe underlying transactions and events in a manner thatachieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding,among other matters, the planned scope and timing of theaudit and significant audit findings, including any significantdeficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statementthat we have complied with relevant ethical requirementsregarding independence, and to communicate with them allrelationships and other matters that may reasonably be thoughtto bear on our independence, and where applicable, relatedsafeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the standalone financial statementsfor the financial year ended March 31, 2026 and are thereforethe key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor'sreport unless law or regulation precludes public disclosureabout the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, wedetermine that a matter should not be communicated in our
report because the adverse consequences of doing so wouldreasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefitsof such communication.
